April 5, 2024 - A very rare cru near clos de la roche. Les Charrières' east-facing position at the bottom of the slope gives the vines a gentle angle toward the rising sun. This exposure helps the vines to develop sugars and phenols in the cool Burgundian climate, but this is less efficient than in the steeper vineyards higher on the hill (which also have slightly better drainage). As such, grapes retain more acidity and Les Charrieres Premier Cru wines tend to be slightly leaner than Morey-Saint-Denis Grand Cru wines.
This wine also has a very good structure with rich aroma of red fruits and berries. 90% detalked with process during vinification. Around 1/3 new oak. It has a full body with a lot of texture on the wine itself. Long bitter and acidic finishing. Bitter tannin but it gets smoother after a few hours. Still feel a lot of potential on this wine.
